About this record
Only 2 copies currently listed for sale at 4.68 USD, yet demand persists: 3 collectors want this Oldies 45 pressing against 7 who own one. The Jesters' 'The Plea / Oh Baby' on catalogue OL 182 carries matrix runouts 64-6782 and 64-6783, marking it as a reissue single rather than an original Folk, World, & Country release.
Condition dramatically reshapes value across this 7-inch 45 RPM.
What drives its value
A Mint copy commands 36.71 USD, but the market floor sits far lower: the lowest asking price across both active listings is 4.68 USD, reflecting either heavy wear or damage. The price guide shows a steep condition ladder: from 36.71 at Mint down to 32.85 at NM, then 25.12 at VG+, 17.39 at VG, and 9.66 at G+.
Only 2 copies are for sale, a tight supply relative to the 7 collectors who report owning one. The 3-to-7 want-to-have ratio suggests modest but steady collector interest.
As a reissue on Oldies 45 rather than an original label pressing, this single trades on condition and scarcity of clean stock rather than pressing-plant prestige or first-release status.
How to appraise this pressing
Confirm this pressing by the catalogue number OL 182 on the label and the two distinct matrix runouts: 64-6782 on one side and 64-6783 on the other, both stamped into the dead wax. The 7-inch 45 RPM format and two-track layout (The Plea / Oh Baby) are fixed identifiers.
Grade carefully: a Mint copy shows no visible wear, plays silent, and retains original gloss; NM allows only the faintest signs of handling. VG+ copies show light surface marks but maintain strong playback; VG copies exhibit more noticeable scratches and may produce faint surface noise.
Below VG, groove wear and audible pops accelerate the decline in both sonic and market value. The absence of a barcode confirms this as an older reissue, not a modern repressing.

Frequently asked
What condition should I expect at the lowest asking price of 4.68 USD?
At 4.68 USD, the listing likely represents a heavily played or damaged copy—well below even the G+ grade (9.66 USD) in the price guide. This price point typically indicates significant surface noise, groove wear, or structural damage that affects playability. It is a utility buy, not a collector-grade acquisition.
How much is a VG+ copy worth?
According to the price guide, a VG+ copy is valued at 25.12 USD. This represents a record with light surface marks and minor cosmetic wear but no audible defects during play. This grade is the threshold where the single becomes collectible rather than merely playable.
Why is there such a large gap between Mint (36.71 USD) and the current market listing (4.68 USD)?
The gap reflects the rarity of clean stock. Only 2 copies are listed for sale, and neither is likely in Mint or NM condition—most 45s of this era that surface are well-played. The 36.71 USD Mint price is a guide estimate, not a current market transaction; actual Mint copies rarely appear for sale.
Is this a first pressing or a reissue?
This is a reissue on the Oldies 45 label, catalogue OL 182. Oldies 45 was a reissue label that pressed older recordings for the budget and nostalgia market. The matrix runouts 64-6782 and 64-6783 are manufacturing codes from this reissue campaign, not original-era stamps.
How many people collect this record?
7 collectors report owning a copy, and 3 actively want one. This modest community—a 3-to-7 want-to-have ratio—indicates niche interest rather than mainstream demand. The single rating of 3 from 1 rater suggests mixed appeal among those who have heard it.
